Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was stopped today from entering Bishada village in Dadri, on the outskirts of Delhi, where he had gone to meet the family of Mohammad Iqlakh, who was killed by a mob earlier this week over rumours that he had eaten and stored beef in his house.

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader questioned why he was stopped from meeting the victim's family when leaders like Mahesh Sharma and Asaduddin Owaisi were allowed.

AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi had visited Bishada village to meet Iqlakh's family and had questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's silence on the pre-planned murder.

Mahesh Sharma, who is the local BJP MP, had also visited the bereaved family. He said that killing was an "accident" which should not be given a communal color and over which no politics should be done as it might prove to be dangerous.

The situation was under control and the incident should be treated as a "solitary case" and not a communal clash as no other Muslim family was affected, District Magistrate MP Singh claimed.

Contingents of Provincial Armed Constabulary and state police have been deployed across the village where prohibitory orders banning assembly of 5 or more people continued to be in force.
